"Johnny got His Gun"
The first time I saw this film I was glued to the screen until the very end.
I would say that it develops in three modes.
One is the horrible black and white present,
one is the colourful past (memory)
and one is the surreal world of Johnny's dreams where he is conscious of his injury!
I didn't understand how the scenes with his father in the past was supposed to add to the movie.. The acting isn't superb and some lines could have been different.
The black and white cinematography is very convincing and the scenes with the last nurse are tremendous!
Aside from the downsides of war which are evident, the movie also deals with how the system is willing to suppress its own fabricated heroes when they fall short of its ideology.
One of the best Hollywood movies, chiefly due to its powerful script.

It's "Johnny Got His Gun". Based on the novel by Dalton Trumbo.
You should read the book.
